SharePoint & OneDrive Migration Services in UAE & USA
Your documents live in too many places: old file shares, Google Drive, Dropbox, Box, on-premises SharePoint and personal desktops. Every extra location is a security gap, a backup problem and a reason people cannot find the latest version.
M365 Enterprise Hub delivers SharePoint and OneDrive migration services for companies in Dubai, the UAE and the USA. We move your content into SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business with permissions, versions and metadata intact, then set up the governance that keeps it organized.

What Is a SharePoint & OneDrive Migration?
A SharePoint and OneDrive migration transfers documents, folders, lists and sites from their current home into Microsoft 365. Team and departmental content goes to SharePoint Online document libraries; personal working files go to each user’s OneDrive for Business.
Sources we migrate include Windows file servers and NAS devices, SharePoint Server 2013/2016/2019, Google Drive and Shared Drives, Dropbox Business, Box, Egnyte and another Microsoft 365 tenant.
The result is a single, searchable content platform that works natively with Microsoft Teams, Copilot and Purview. For dedicated file-server projects, see our file server to SharePoint migration service.
Why Migrate to SharePoint Online & OneDrive
Moving content to SharePoint Online and OneDrive is less about storage and more about how your people work. The platform changes collaboration, security and the way knowledge is found.
Information Architecture Before Migration, Not After
Lifting a messy folder tree into SharePoint produces a messy SharePoint. Before we migrate a byte, we design the site structure, hub sites, document libraries, metadata and permission model so content lands where it belongs.
This is the difference between a migration that users adopt on day one and one they quietly work around with email attachments. Our SharePoint development team builds intranets and custom solutions on the same foundation.
Our SharePoint & OneDrive Migration Services
Every source platform stores permissions, versions and sharing differently. Our migration services handle each one with the right tooling and a validated mapping:
File Server & NAS to SharePoint:
Network shares mapped to document libraries with NTFS permissions converted to SharePoint groups and long paths fixed.
Google Drive, Dropbox & Box to OneDrive:
Personal drives migrated to OneDrive and shared drives to SharePoint, with ownership and sharing links preserved.
SharePoint Server to SharePoint Online:
Sites, lists, libraries, workflows and customizations assessed and migrated from SharePoint 2013, 2016 or 2019.
Cross-Tenant SharePoint Migration:
SharePoint and OneDrive content moved between Microsoft 365 tenants during mergers, acquisitions and divestitures.
Migration Problems We Solve Before They Happen
Common risks are the cause of many companies being hesitant to move. Our data migration team of experts in SharePoint is trained on how to overcome the following hurdles:
- Broken permissions: Every source permission is mapped to SharePoint groups or sensitivity labels, and orphaned access is removed rather than copied.
- Lost versions and metadata: Version history, created/modified dates and authors are migrated, not flattened to today’s date.
- Unsupported files and path lengths: Illegal characters, 400-character paths and oversized files are identified in the pre-scan and fixed in advance.
- User confusion: Change communications, OneDrive Known Folder Move and short training sessions are part of every project.
Our Step-by-Step SharePoint Migration Process
- Content Assessment: We scan your sources for volume, file types, permissions, duplicates and stale content that should be archived rather than migrated.
- Information Architecture Design: Site hierarchy, libraries, metadata, naming conventions and the permission model are agreed with your stakeholders.
- Pilot Migration: One department or team is migrated end-to-end to validate speed, fidelity and user experience.
- Incremental Migration & Cutover: Content moves in waves with delta syncs, then sources are set read-only at cutover.
- Adoption & Governance: Users are trained, OneDrive is configured on devices and retention plus sharing policies are enforced.

SharePoint & OneDrive Migration FAQs
A single-department migration of a few hundred gigabytes can be completed in one to two weeks. Enterprise projects with multiple terabytes, complex permissions and SharePoint Server customizations typically run four to twelve weeks in planned waves.
Yes. NTFS, Google Drive and Dropbox permissions are analysed and mapped to SharePoint groups, with a review step so you can simplify over-complicated access before it is recreated in the cloud.
Yes. We migrate Google Drive, Google Shared Drives, Dropbox Business, Box and Egnyte content to OneDrive for Business and SharePoint Online, including sharing settings, ownership and version history where the source supports it.
Version history from SharePoint Server, Google Drive, Dropbox and Box can be migrated with a configurable number of versions. Windows file shares do not store versions, so migration begins versioning from the first upload.
OneDrive for Business is personal cloud storage for each user’s working files. SharePoint Online hosts team, project and departmental content with shared libraries, lists and sites. Most migrations use both: personal folders to OneDrive and shared drives to SharePoint.
SharePoint Online provides 1 TB per tenant plus 10 GB per licensed user, expandable with additional storage. Individual files up to 250 GB are supported. We identify archive candidates during assessment to keep the live environment lean.
